On 1 May 2022, Health minister Khairy Jamaluddin announced a post-May 1st mask etiquette on his official Twitter account. According to him, we should oblige if someone asks us to wear a mask for safety concerns when it is visibly crowded outdoor.
“Post May 1st mask etiquette: If you are outdoors and it’s visibly getting crowded and someone (especially an elderly person) politely asks you to wear a mask because they are concerned for their safety, please oblige,” he said in his Twitter statement.

He added that we should come together and protect the most vulnerable (the elderlies).
In another statement posted on the same day, Khairy also said that one should isolate him or herself at home if given a Home surveillance order (HSO) or is tested positive for Covid-19 (red risk status).
“We need to also be honest to report positive results and not harm others. Continue to self-isolate if your risk status is red. Please don’t go out,” he stated.
Even if there are no more restrictions for most activities after 1 May, we should continue to be a responsible citizen and protect everyone’s health and safety.
